I created the 1095C efile and on the validation I got this error message:

ERROR (Line 28): The 'urn:us:gov:treasury:irs:ext:aca:air:ty16:Form1095CAttachedCnt' element is invalid - The value '' is invalid according to its datatype 'urn:us:gov:treasury:irs:ext:aca:air:ty16:TotalNumberType' - The Pattern constraint failed.


How do I fix this ?

Dear valued customer,

Are you using ez1095 ACA software 2016 edition now?

This error is caused on box 18 on Form 1094C. You need to fill in the form 1094C and submit it together with the 1095C forms. The efile documents includes both 1095 and 1094 forms.

1. Start ez1095, open the 1094C form and enter box 18 and other information. Save your changes.
2. Generate the efile documents again
3. Validate XML files and submit them to IRS

Thank you.
